Donegal Vacation
The Snug was absolutely perfect as a home base to see all of Donegal’s sights. My wife and I absolutely loved The Slieve League and St John’s Point. Sheila was fantastic in answering all of my questions and making sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. The little corner market only steps away was a lifesaver in regards to getting little things we forgot to pack. And if you stay in The Snug, make sure you make your way to Donegal town and eat at The Olde Castle Bar and Restaurant - they had the absolute best venison and seafood pies.

The choice of TV channels was pretty thin, but we weren't there to watch TV. Would have appreciated a non-skid mat in the bath. Stove top is due for a clean.

Quarantine stay
The property is comfortable, has plenty of space, and the amenities, such as washer and dryer, WiFi, and heater all worked great. The view is lovely and there are numerous walks nearby. Only the bathroom and kitchen needed a bit of attention to put us at ease. Overall it’s a great place to stay and we would stay there again.

The apartment was well-equipped and comfortable and in a convenient location for touring County Donegal and the Wild Atlantic Way. Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy, rainy and windy for most of the time, so we enjoyed having such a lovely apartment to return to and relax in.

Everything and more
You never know what you’re really going to get when you travel and The Snug was a delight surprise. I can’t say enough about this little place, Sheila’s quick responses to my inquiries, and the awesome location. The tiny (and I mean tiny) and quiet hamlet of Dunkineely is not a destination town but it’s a fantastic home base to make day trips from. The off-street parking is also a huge bonus (people park on the side walk because the road is so narrow). There is a nice little convenience/grocery store a mere block away. One cafe (didn’t try) and 4 bars (I only went to Mac’s and it was great). You’ll definitely need a car to get around. This isn’t a mass transit or even a walking area. The sights and experiences of Donegal require a car. This is a self-catering apt so be prepared to supply your own TP once it runs out. Everything else was extremely well provided. There is a washing machine (no dryer) and a dish washer. Internet worked flawlessly. There is also a lovely back yard. You can gaze out onto a farmer’s field and Inver Bay — very peaceful. Small warning: the walls are thin. Not sure if the adjoining apt had full-time renters or other travelers but it can get noisy. I needed ear plugs at night to sleep. I would return to The Snug in a heartbeat: absolutely loved it.

Just loved it. Worried about no reception but a quick call to Sheila the property manager and we were in. We loved the place. Quaint village, excellent view from the apartment. Everything was clean and great having everything to cook meals. She also gave us tips about the area. We loved Sleive Leig Cliffs and then took the long way back which was lovely.

Comfy flat with beautiful views.
This was our first village accommodation on this trip. It was certainly handy to everything. It was in a good location for our exploration of the area. The flat was spacious, clean and fresh. The kitchen was very well equipped and the beds were warm and comfy. The views were lovely.

Can't wait to return to The Snug!
We loved everything about The Snug, the location in Dunkineely was charming and well situated, the views to the south of Galway Bay and Ben Bulben were inspiring, the beds and the living room were very comfortable, the kitchen was fully equipped, there was even a washer and dryer. There's a small market called Floyd's just down the street, we were able to make breakfast every morning before we set out to explore amazing County Donegal. Sheila was very esponsive and pleasant to deal with. Hope we make it back one day!
